Live mirrors of de.wikipedia
by Peter Jacobi 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

These popup-infested warts mirror de.wikipedia by live inclusion of content: http://www.nachgeschlagen.com/wiki/Hauptseite http://www.easy-lexikon.de/wiki/Hauptseite http://www.web01.de/wiki/Hauptseite compare: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite The third one does something creative but wrong, and sometimes gets English instead of German pages.

Threads: any plans
by Uwe Brauer 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

Hello I asked sometime ago about the possibilities to add some Thread functionality to the discussion pages and I was pointed out that there exists http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:LiquidThreads. However it seems to me not a very vivid project. Are there any other plans to add such a functionality? Thanks Uwe Brauer

Distributed bzip2
by Brion Vibber 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Between other things I've been working on a distributed bzip2 compression tool which could help speed up generation of data dumps. By trading LAN bandwidth for idle CPU elsewhere in the server cluster, an order-of-magnitude improvement in throughput seems reasonably practical; this could cut bzip2 compression time for the large English Wikipedia history dumps by a full day. Status/documentation: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/dbzip2 Source: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/dbzip2 Updates on my (*blush*) development blog: http://leuksman.com/ I'm hoping something similar can be accomplished with 7zip as well... - -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEfVkSwRnhpk1wk44RAv/wAJ9JJghnGX6wmPvVz8lX6WLa+sfeZwCg1wex ZcadcVpBCsZP866C4gdG7/M= =SpCq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Article vs. EditPage functionality
by Travis Derouin 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Is there any plan in the future to move more of the functionality from the EditPage class to Article? It seems like a lot of the functionality that's currently in EditPage (at least in the 1.4 version) such as checking if the page is protected, checking the time stamp of the article, etc should be moved into the Article class so that other new classes that modify articles don't have to duplicate code or meddle with the EditPage class to save an article. Thanks, Travis

Current version on Wikimedia servers
by Petr Kadlec 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

Hi! I understand that Wikimedia servers run almost directly from CVS HEAD (erm, I mean SVN trunk). If that is so, what does the revision number at Special:Version mean (as it is quite behind SVN trunk)? And, if I am wrong and the number is correct, how come Brion's fix to bug #6126 (thanks, Brion!) committed as r14493 seems to work on Commons, where the special page reports 1.7alpha (r14374) ? Thanks for any explanation, -- [[commons:User:Mormegil | Petr Kadlec]]

Hiding titles of pages
by Claudi Meneghin 31 May '06

31 May '06

Hello, I am admin in Lombard wikipedia: we would like to hide the titles of some pages, for matters related to dialect fragmentation of Lombard tongue. An exemple of this feature can be found at: http://ca.wikipedia.org. Unfortunately, I have got no idea about how we could proceed. Do you have any suggestions, please? Many thanks.
